Maybe a loan, can't imagine there'd be anything more. Likely some outgoings.
January transfer window 2024
- Thread starter JLW
- Start date
Another brands special!
Who do you see going out WM ? The squad is pretty thin as it is.
Ideally I'd like to see Gomes , Godfrey and Alli going out.
We need a central midfielder , centre half and right side midfielder.
I'm pretty sure that the only possibility is to loan players ( unless there is a major sale , which obviously I hope we can avoid).
Keeping our squad is the priority for me.

This.
Barring a stupid offer for one of our young guns or something catastrophic in the finances we shouldn’t sell anyone before summer & we’ll also be an attractive option for players on loan.
Will be 20m and waive the deli transfer fees

Keeping the Wolves from the door stuff this Jan - not losing anybody that plays would be good + staying out of administration.
Simon Buttle
Player Valuation: £50m
That still wouldn't be enough imo, Branthwaite is 21 and is the full package, a left footed CB who has pace, passing, can tackle, can head, and can bring the ball out from the back comfortably. He is worth £70-80m minimum, probably more if you got a few clubs in the mix.
Exactly that is probably all we can afford to do, or hopefully afford to do.
Plays almost every week in France, so seems highly unlikely.

Been compiling a list of players from the 777 clubs. If the reports are that they are interested in implementing their own model, possibly replace Thelwell seems worthwhile to look at the structure and overall standout talents in their pool. In total its not as bad as I thought it would be considering their reputation. Performance wise yes, most of the clubs are struggling, but there are some engaging names to keep track of if we end up the top of their portfolios list. Id also say that the talent levels of where their assets are is also engaging. Serie A, La Liga, 2nd Bundesliga/Bundesliga, Belgian league, Danish league, and Brazil there is a nice ladder of level for players to go through development wise before the prem. Evaluations via Transfermarkt.
Genoa
Mateo Retegui, 24, Argentina/Italy, ST 16 million
Radu Drăgușin 21, Romania, CB (covers at RB, LB) 20 million
Morten Frendrup,22, Denmark, CM CDM 10 million
Koni De Winter 21, Belgium, CB (covers at RB) 7 million
Alan Matturro, 19, Uruguay, CB (covers at LB LM) 4 million
Genoa seems to be going younger in recruiting to pretty convincing results. They’ve been buying from power academies, seemingly being a way for youths to break into first team football. They’ve also been looking in South America as well. In total Id say they have the best pool prospect wise and are operating the most competently out of the clubs. I think Dragusin and Frendrup likely could enter the premier League fairly seamlessly at least as subs and be very good buys. Retegui is a new arrival but transitioning smoothly from Argentina.
Brondby
Mathias Kvistgaarden, 21, Denmark, ST
Kvistgaarden is that standout with links to mid european leagues. Will note Frendrup came from Brondby to Genoa so a demonstration of 777 doing some internal deals. Not sure others but one of the few big clubs in Denmark so would expect a decent academy and opportunities in Scandinavia.
Standard Liege
Cihan Çanak, 18, Belgium/Turkey AM (covers at LW and RW) 3.5 million
Not sure about the academy. Meddling club in the country. Canak the standout but a raw flyer prospect. That said talent is obviously abundant in Belgium.
Hertha BSC
Márton Dárdai 21, Germany, CB 2.5 million
Bence Dardai 17, Germany CAM, CM 2 million
Drop in a division has meant tough times for Hertha. Harder to parse the level. Not a lot of marked prospects. Dardai brothers (son of the manager) seem to be the standouts. Marton has been linked to some of the smarter Bundesliga clubs. Bence has had links to european powerhouses a bit as a high ceiling prospect.
Vasco Da Gama
Marlon Gomes, 20, Brazil, CAM 6 million
Gabriel Pec 22, Brazil, RW, 6 million
Lucas Piton 23, Italy LB 6 million
Go through Vasco’s past and there is a fair bit of talent thats gone through the club. Quick research and it seems its considered a better end talent developer in Brazil. Pec has emerged this season. Piton has been linked to moves in Italy.
Sevilla
Tanguy Nianzou, 21, France CB 6 million
Im not sure if there is youth in the academy thats not yet in the first team fold, but this Sevilla team is old with what seems little for younger talent. Nianzou’s been injured but interesting pedigree having been at PSG and Bayern. In the past theyve done business for players with Hertha. Another sign of 777 doing internal deals.
Dont have anything on Red Star or Melbourne Victory considering the levels.

Unless cash for godfrey then now chance, gomes ali loan yes because cant see both playong for us
Frendrup Could be a good move similar to gana, really have to look for a doucoure replacement we have no cover when he is out
